Question: If $ P=2^{3}\times 3^{10}\times 5 $ and $ Q=2^{5}\times 3\times 7, $ then HCF of P and Q is
Options:
A) $ 2\cdot 3\cdot 5\cdot 7 $
B) $ 3\cdot 2^{3} $
C) $ 2^{2}\cdot 3^{7} $
D) $ 2^{5}\cdot 3^{10}\cdot 5\cdot 7 $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
- Given, $ P=2^{3}\times 3^{10}\times 5 $
$ Q=2^{5}\times 3\times 7 $
[ $ \because 2^{3} $ and 3 is common factor to both P and O]
$ \therefore $ $ HCF=2^{3}\times 3 $
